}Thanks. Starting at a random point, without trying to locate a presumed

That's up to the creator of the image, not part of the format.  You'd
expect it to usually start at a self-sync nybble simply as an artifact,
though.

}I am not sure $1A00 will give enough sector overlap to guarantee a fully

}Besides, I suppose it can't do anything in case of a single track-long

The single track-long sector (a.k.a "18 sector") case is a pretty
common use for .nib, actually.
